Thanks to those who gave me pointers about the installation. After I re-partitioned, mounted (I finally figured out I only have to highlight and PRESS ENTER on the partition to mount and format!) and installed a minimal graphics system, everything went fine.
I have a couple of questions: 1. This is the first time I am using 'rpm' to install. It seems very slow. Usually I take the ./configure, make, make install route. So I dont know if it is normal. We have given 5% CPU of our 350mips z/800 to it. We are NOT running on IFL. This is not a cap. We have also given it 512MB memory. I am surprised that 'yast' and 'rpm' are very slow, in fact slower than the celeron 400 with 64MB I used to run with. What monitoring and probing tools do people generally use (MRTG? Cacti? ) ? 2. I installed all the software (the BLT) through yast but it does not seem to have installed an ftp server. Most like apache, postfix, mysql etc got installed, why not ftp? So, I am thinking of installing wu-ftp or nc-ftp. Wonder what others run? I am very concerned about the slowness. We need to run MQ Series on this. TIA
